multiselect checkbox dropdown

Question

I am using multiselect checkbox dropdown.

Please look example jsfiddle

$(function () { $('#lstStates').multiselect({ }); });

Once you select states it show then TEXT value and concat with comma like: New Jersey, New York, Ohio

But I want VALUE of that selected ITEM like: NJ, NY, OH

You can use buttonText option of multiselect.

http://jsfiddle.net/ejqngpn5/

$('#lstStates').multiselect({ 
    buttonText: function(options, select) {
        console.log(select[0].length);
        if (options.length === 0) {
            return 'None selected';
        }
        if (options.length === select[0].length) {
            return 'All selected ('+select[0].length+')';
        }
        else if (options.length >= 4) {
            return options.length + ' selected';
        }
        else {
            var labels = [];
            console.log(options);
            options.each(function() {
                labels.push($(this).val());
            });
            return labels.join(', ') + '';
        }
    }

});
